Kinsman Eades is a Napa Valley winery founded by winemaker Nigel Kinsman, who developed his passion for winemaking independently, starting from a job at a fine-wine store in Australia. After gaining experience in various vineyards and wineries, including a stint in Tuscany, he moved to Napa Valley, where he worked at notable estates before establishing Kinsman Eades with his wife, Shae. The winery focuses on producing premium wines, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, from exceptional vineyard sites, with the first vintage released in 2016. Kinsman Eades emphasizes the individuality of each wine, showcasing the unique characteristics of their vineyard sources. Notable wines include the 2018 Rhadamanthus, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, known for its complex aromas and robust tannins, and the 2018 Anjea, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that highlights floral notes and a bright finish. The winery's production is limited, with around 500 to 650 cases annually, and they do not release wines from the 2020 vintage. Each wine label features artwork that reflects personal significance to the Kinsmans, enhancing the brand's connection to their story.
